Signed for six hour lesson at this school and it was the best decision. Instructor was on time each time. Their was clear communications all across from start to finish. Never driving before but due the way is taught during the lessons I was able too pass on my first attempt. I highly recommend everyone to take lessons here. It’s money well spent, compared to other driving schools in LA. Oh if you want there services do it sooner cause they get book super fast

Not professional. I booked a 6 hour lesson. Each appointment precious was on his phone the entire time. 2nd appointment he showed up 15minutes late.3rd appointment did not show up at all and claimed I was the one who was a no show, in stead of asking if I could rebook. He does not wear a mask and the car is not sanitized in between clients like it states on the website. He will ask for you to give a review before the lesson is even finish.

Best driving school in L.A. and affordable also. Precious really takes his time to teach you the proper steps on how to pass the Dmv drive test and how to gain your confidence behind the wheel. If it wasn’t for him i would be skeptical about driving. But thanks to him I passed my test on my first try. He is on time and very communicative at all times. I highly recommend you take lessons here!!

I highly recommend this. My instructor Precious is an amazing teacher to have when learning to drive. He teaches you very well, makes you more confident and calm when behind the wheel. Thanks to him, I have more knowledge and confidence now when behind the wheel. If you want a driving teacher, then he is your guy

Best driving school you can find. Got more than what I paid more. Tons of tips and advice. Answered all my questions. Very professional but not up tight that it makes you nervous. Welcoming atmosphere. I was not judged one bit nor was I made to feel bad about my driving skills. I was able to drive after 30 min demonstration. I was also able to drive around the dmv I’m going to take my test at. If you want to learn how to drive, practice driving, or brush up for test, buy one of these packages. No regrets

Taking these driving lessons leading up to my behind the wheel test was the best decision I made. He was super patient and gave me the confidence to drive comfortably. I highly recommend if you’re trying to gain some professional lessons or just want to be more confident in your driving skills. I passed my drivers test on the first try!

During my time, I learned so much about driving on the road. I now feel really confident after the first lesson. If there was anything I need to improve, I was told politely on what I can do improve. Overall, really satisfied and would highly recommend to anyone who is trying to learn to drive.

Instructor is great at explaining every detail to students. It is amazing how I went from no experience to confident behind the wheel in less than a week. His patience and optimism went a long way for me as nervous person who has never driven before. I felt completely safe and in good hands with the instructor guiding me from the passenger seat. Service is great. Fast communication via text and email and very professional.

I’m new to driving and have basic knowledge whatsoever but all of that changed when I called Proactivedrivinglessons on the phone. Precious is so friendly, and he carefully broken down in details what I would be doing within those lessons. He took his time every step of the way to teach me how to drive. He is friendly and patient!! This was money well spent indeed. I recommend everyone to take lessons here☺️

In total I did 25 hours of driving lessons. I am an older driver, who, after living in New York City and moving to LA, needed to learn to drive as quickly as possible. From those 25 hours of lessons, I learned to be confident in a range of driving scenarios, including navigating congested streets in downtown LA, scenic hills in the Palos Verdes estates, entering and exiting several freeways, and intimidating bridges in San Pedro and Long Beach. For me, it was incredibly important that I become a competent and confident driver as quickly as possible and being challenged to step out of my comfort zone surely helped in that endeavor.

Let me start this off by saying, I am 29 years old. I know thats not very old to start driving but I have put it off for way too long because I have extreme driving anxiety. Precious is amazing at what he does, he reassures you and lets you know youre doing good and where you can improve. He is also vocal about mistakes but he teaches you in a very calm and patient manner. I would have never gotten over my fear of driving if not for him. For that, I am forever grateful. I highly reccomend getting lessons from them if you have any anxiety issues regarding driving and test taking. I passed today! Thank you so much! 😊❤

If you’re reading this review choose ProactiveDrivingLessons from start to finish trust me is worth every penny. I did the six hour lesson and passed my dmv drive test on the first attempt. I called other driving schools around me and none of them went into details about their services. The instructor was super patient with me and really made me confident to drive on the freeway well. I love ProactiveDrivingLessons ☺️☺️👏🏿👏🏿

I really needed some behind the wheel experience and Precious was able to quickly schedule me. I went with the six hour package, which broke down into three days— two hours each day. I was already taking my first class the next day! He was really calm and patient as he explained details of the vehicle and always asked if I had any questions as he went through the maneuvers. It was a great learning experience and I feel more confident behind the wheel. Thank you for your time and patience, Precious!

Glad i found this school at the right time. Other driving school were not availiable or were booked for several months. Customer service agent was friendly and answered all my questions. They explained in details what i was going to be doing for the duration of my course. Best driving instructor is Precious. He is very patient and such a cool dude. Anyone will be happy to have him as an instructor.

My instructor was patient and she thought me thoroughly. She explained the rules of the rode and everything I needed to know to pass the behind the wheel test. My favorite attribute about the instructor is that she is understanding...she doesn’t yell, but she gently corrects and even complimented me when she saw I we doing well. I am happy to report that I passed my driving test and would recommend this driving school.

Review №59

4.9 stars? Really? I am honestly confused on how they have this rating. Don’t let these stars fool you like they fooled me. I recently made an appointment with them that did NOT require for me to pay (so I assumed I can pay in person). The day of my appointment nobody called or confirmed my appointment. I texted & the customer service wasn’t even proper English. I honestly think this is a scam. Bottom line, I never went through my appointment. DON’T FALL FOR THEM. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
